In March, 2010, I was interviewed on the radio show As It Happens for the CBC (Canadian national public radio).  A link to the podcast can be found here: It is the March 2 show, toward the end of the broadcast.

In October, 2009, I was fortunate to publish an article about my research in Eye on Psi Chi magazine, the official magazine of Psi Chi, the International Honor Society in Psychology.  If you are interested in reading  it, click this link.

In October 2008, I was invited to visit the University of Memphis to give two presentations.  One was on numerosity skills of animals, and the other was about metacognition and self-control.  I had a great time meeting people working in cognitive science as part of the Institute for Intelligent Systems.

In April 2008, I was invited to give the Keynote Address at the 16th Annual Student Research Conference at Southeast Missouri State University.  It was quite a thrill, and I really enjoyed meeting everyone at Southeast.  The mural below advertised the conference.
